The Masks of Bali (see About Masks) are very special and you will find many excellent examples here.  There are theatrical masks from the Topeng, Wayang Wong, Calonarang and Barong dramas – several of these are older masks and are of particular interest to collectors since it is increasingly more difficult to find good examples. You will also find superb traditional masks.

 

 

 

You thought horses, pigs, and frogs couldn’t fly? Wrong! You will find them all here in Flying Figures, together with mythological characters, mermaids and more…

 

 

 

 

Garudas has many superb examples of artisans’ depictions of the giant bird god from Hindu mythology (see About Garuda). The items here range in size and complexity, but all are magnificent.

 

 

 

 

In Mirrors, you will find frames with ornate, detailed, contoured, and hand-painted ‘themes’. You will also find some amusing designs, just great for kids.

 

 

 

 

In Creatures, you will find carved animals, birds, fishes, and mythical beings. Some are crafted replicas of ‘real’ creatures, some are figments of vivid imaginations, and some are well, just downright strange…
 

 

 

 

Fruits & Plants are just that – platters of exotic tropical fruits, banana trees and corn plants, for example…

 

 

 

 

In Specialties, you will typically find rather unique pieces, which could range from particularly elaborate masks, to woodcarvings commissioned and created by Balinese artisans, to …. Well, look for yourself!
 

 

 

 

The types of items you might find in Odds & Ends will vary from time to time. Typically, you might find carved jewelry, napkin rings, coasters, cocktail sticks, and rather amusing characters. At the time of writing, we are also offering models of Balinese outrigger boats in this section.
